Surat Powerloom Owners Seek Two-Year Property Tax Waiver
In Surat, a group of people who run small weaving factories asked the city mayor and the municipal commissioner to cancel their property taxes for two years.
They said that heavy rains and floods have flooded their factories, damaging machines and fabrics.
The request was made by the Uma Industrial Society, which represents these factory owners.
The owners have faced similar flooding problems for several years.
They hope the city will help them recover from the losses caused by the floods.
Owners submitted a memorandum to the mayor and municipal commissioner.
They request a waiver of property tax for the fiscal years 2026-27 and 2027-28.
Floods this month caused major losses, damaging machinery and raw materials.
The issue has occurred twice this month and has been a recurring problem for years.
The Uma Industrial Society represents the owners in the Dunbhal area.
